JBIG-KIT

JBIG-KIT v0.9 is source code for JBIG compression routines, available under GNU General Public License, able to be compiled on any platform.

JBIG-KIT contains portable ISO/ANSI standard C source code of library functions which implement the international standard ISO 11544 JBIG lossless image compression algorithm. JBIG-KIT should preferably be used on 32-bit systems; on 16-bit systems, performance is degraded and only small images can be processed. JBIG-KIT is freely usable under the conditions of the GNU General Public License. Some aspects of the JBIG algorithm are patented in a few countries (see Annex E of ISO 11544 or ITU-T T.82 for detailed information).

JBIG-KIT is in the directory /software/source/jbigkit on the CD-ROM. JBIG-KIT is from Markus Kuhn.
